Needless to say that sport plays an important role in our life. It gives us much pleasure and many moments of joy. There are a lot of kinds of sports such as swimming, wrestling, cycling, box, football, hockey, track and field athletics. All of them are useful and exciting and help us to keep feet.
As for me I am fond of jogging and figure skating. I was going in for figure skating when I was a child and achieved good results. This is very elegant sport. You should control your body very well, if you wish to skate gracefully. And you should apply great efforts at every coaching. Now every winter if I have spare time, I go to the nearest skating-rink with my friends and we have much pleasure, skating together. I don’t forget to watch Figure Skating Championships, where our best sportsmen and sportswomen perform. Their compulsory and free programmes are beyond description and one can’t help admiring them.
In spring and summer I prefer to go in for jogging. This is very popular sport, very useful for your health. You slowly run and enjoy the beauty of nature around. Millions of people all over the world are fond of jogging as it helps to keep your heart healthy and your figure – slim.
Speaking about sports I can’t help saying about football, because this is very spectacular kind of sports. There are a lot football teams, football events, fan clubs in almost every country of the world. Some football players are world-famous, they make excellent careers and take part in each championship. Football matches attract a lot of spectators, who come to support their favourites.
As for me, I am a football fan of Italian team “Roma” and my favourite player is Francesco Totti. I remember having been taken to the match between “Roma” and their competitors. The stands were full of spectators. They shouted to cheer the teams and swung the flags… The match started and 10 minutes later I saw a ball, flying from Totti into the goal. I was very happy! I was sure that my favourite team could be only the winner!
The match was very exciting and the players were determined only to win. They did their best and wont the game with a score 3 to 2. I was very proud of their victory. No doubt, “Roma” is one of the best teams in the world!
Thus we see how many different kinds of sports exist and can please us. I think it necessary that everybody should go in for sports!

Нет нужды говорить о том, что спорт играет важную роль в нашей жизни. Он приносит нам много удовольствия и много радостных моментов. Существует много видов спорта, таких как: плавание, борьба, велоспорт, бокс, футбол, хоккей, легкая атлетика. Все они полезны и захватывающи и нам поддерживать физическую форму.
Что касается меня, я увлекаюсь бегом трусцой и фигурным катанием. Я занималась фигурным катанием, когда была ребенком, и достигла хороших результатов. Это очень изящный вид спорта. Вы должны очень хорошо владеть своим телом, если хотите красиво кататься. И должны прикладывать массу усилий на каждой тренировке. Сейчас (т.е. в настоящее время), если у меня есть свободное время, я иду на ближайший каток с моими друзьями, и мы получаем большое удовольствие, катаясь вместе. Я не забываю смотреть Чемпионаты по фигурному катанию, где выступают наши лучшие спортсмены и спортсменки. Их обязательные и свободные программы выше всяких похвал и никто не может не восхищаться ими.
Весной и осенью я предпочитаю бегать трусцой. Это очень популярный вид спорта, очень полезный для здоровья. Вы медленно бежите и наслаждаетесь красотой природы вокруг. Миллионы людей по всему миру увлекаются бегом трусцой, так как он сохранять ваше сердце здоровым, а вашу фигуру – стройной.
Говоря о видах спорта, я не могу не сказать о футболе, так как это очень зрелищный вид спорта. Существует множество футбольных команд, футбольных мероприятий, клубов болельщиков почти в каждой стране мира. Некоторые игроки имеют мировую известность; они делают великолепную карьеру и принимают участие в каждом чемпионате. Футбольные матчи привлекают массу зрителей, которые приходят поддержать своих любимцев.
Что касается меня, я - футбольный болельщик итальянской команды “Рома” (досл. c итал. – “Рим”.), а мой любимый игрок – Франческо Тотти. Я помню, как меня взяли на матч между “Рома” их соперниками. Трибуны были полны зрителей. Они кричали, чтобы подбодрить свои команды, и размахивали флагами… Матч начался, и 10 минут спустя я увидела, как мяч летит от Тотти в ворота. Я была очень счастлива! Я была уверена, что моя любимая команда может быть только чемпионом!
Матч был очень захватывающим, и игроки были нацелены на победу. Они приложили максимум усилий и выиграли матч со счетом 3:2. Я очень гордилась их победой. Нет сомнения, “Рома” – одна из лучших команд в мире!
Итак, мы видим, как много разных видов спорта существует, и какое удовольствие они могут нам доставить. Я считаю необходимым, чтобы каждый занимался спортом!
The most important thing we've learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set — Or better still, just don't install The idiotic thing at all.
In almost every house we've been, We've watched them gaping at the screen.
They loll and slop and lounge about, And stare until their eyes pop out.
(Last week in someone's place we saw A dozen eyeballs on the floor.)
They sit and stare and stare and sit Until they're hypnotised by it, Until they're absolutely drunk With all that shocking ghastly junk.
Oh yes, we know it keeps them still, They don't climb out the window sill, They never fight or kick or punch, They leave you free to cook the lunch And wash the dishes in the sink — But did you ever stop to think, To wonder just exactly what This does to your beloved tot?
IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD!
IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!
IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!
IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND!
HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE!
HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST ANDFREEZE!
HE CANNOT THINK — HE ONLY SEES!
'All right!'
you'll cry.
'All right!'
you'll say, 'But if we take the set away, What shall we do to entertain Our darling children?
Please explain!'
We'll answer this by asking you, 'What used the darling ones to do?
'How used they keep themselvescontented Before this monster was invented?'
Have you forgotten?
Don't you know?
We'll say it very loud and slow: THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ!
They'd READand READ, AND READ and READ, and then proceed To READ some more.
Great Scott!
Gadzooks!
One half their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed, More books were waiting to be read!
Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales And treasure isles, and distant shores Where smugglers rowed with muffledoars, And pirates wearing purple pants, And sailing ships and elephants, And cannibals crouching 'round the pot, Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Penelope.)
The younger ones had Beatrix Potter With Mr. Tod, the dirty rotter, And Squirrel Nutkin, Pigling Bland, And Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and- Just How The Camel Got His Hump, And How the Monkey Lost His Rump, And Mr. Toad, and bless my soul, There's Mr. Rat and Mr. Mole- Oh, books, what books they used to know, Those children living long ago!
So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, Go throw your TV set away, And in its place you can install A lovely bookshelf on the wall.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books, Ignoring all the dirty looks, The screams and yells, the bites and kicks, And children hitting you with sticks- Fear not, because we promise you That, in about a week or two Of having nothing else to do, They'll now begin to feel the need Of having something to read.
And once they start — oh boy, oh boy!
You watch the slowly growing joy That fills their hearts.
They'll grow so keen They'll wonder what they'd ever seen In that ridiculous machine, That nauseating, foul, unclean, Repulsive television screen!
And later, each and every kid Will love you more for what you did.
